Maine Sends Out Phony Tax Bills

While testing new software, the State of Maine has mistakenly sent out phony tax bills to about 1000 Mainers. According to an article in the Portland Press Herald, Maine Revenue Services confirmed this on Monday. The letters demanded immediate payment of all past taxes, penalties and interest. The letters go on to say that the debts are final and that payments are long overdue.

Apparently the mistake happened while the State was upgrading it's current system. Test letters were printed and then somehow made their way into the mail system.
